Libraries.Today, a free forum addressing the challenges and opportunities for post-COVID School Libraries, will be held virtually May 16, 18, and 21, 2022 with daily keynotes, panel discussions, and pre-recorded videos. The forum is free to join and registration is open now at http://libraries.today/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flibraries.today%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cpatience.frederiksen%40alaska.gov%7C8c26a86a42d24b8f1fd508da2e00d0e6%7C20030bf67ad942f7927359ea83fcfa38%7C0%7C0%7C637872878408544649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uBOf3pf%2BpXkTwxdQb4%2Bt%2BFvJg8aSCliN8ooiRC7hf2U%3D&reserved=0>!  This forum was made possible in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services.

Keynotes:
May 16 - Daily Topic: Information Under Attack - Roger Rosen, Rosen Publishing Group
May 18 - Daily Topic: COVID Changes/Challenges Debrief - Amy Hermon, Podcast: School Librarians United
May 21 - Daily Topic: Looking Ahead for Solutions - Mark Ray, currently part of the IMLS-funded SLIDE research project examining national school library staffing

Panelists include KC Boyd, Diana Rendina, Carolyn Foote, Leslie Preddy, Keith Curry Lance, John Silva, and so many more.  Pre-recorded videos for discussion from Dr. Stephen Krashen, Dr. Debbie Reese, Steve Potash, and other notables.

This promises to be an amazing event with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions with full recordings and replay for everything so librarians can join as they are able and tune in later to catch up on what they missed.

While the target audience is school librarians, there is an interesting mix of speakers addressing a variety of topics that will be of interest to all librarians.
